About this listen
'Love this book! It triggers so many memories of the rave era. Thoroughly recommended.' - FATBOY SLIM
'Captures the hedonism and humour of the nineties with a laugh-out-loud honesty. The perfect Ibiza holiday read...if you can get it through customs!' - JUDGE JULES
'Some great stories from those early rave days. Really made me giggle.' - CARL COX
As a humble barman at the M25 Orbital raves, Kirk Field witnessed the moment acid house exploded. Inspired by media lies to start writing the truth about what he saw unfolding, Kirk became a 'raving' reporter for the clubbers' bible Mixmag, covering the historic parties from the inside and sending sweat-soaked dispatches from distant dancefloors as the scene expanded across Europe and beyond.
With a cast of characters including Diego Maradona, Timothy Leary, the KLF, Michael Eavis, Genesis P-Orridge, Brigitte Nielsen, Boris Yeltsin, Boy George, Saddam Hussein's wife, the president of Tunisia, the CIA, the KGB, Dave Courtney, Norman Lamont's dominatrix and even Her Majesty the Queen, Kirk's whirlwind account of the golden age of clubbing tells the story of what really happened in the 'naughty '90s', exposing the seedy underbelly of rave culture while also capturing the nostalgic spirit of the era.
Told through a mixture of vivid first-person narrative, surreal insider anecdotes and incisive social commentary, this honest, hilarious and uncensored postcard of hedonism will appeal to anyone who's ever put their hands in the air like they just don't care.©2023 Kirk Field (P)2023 Bonnier Books UK

What an interesting memoir
A trip through memory lane in a time when social media didn’t tule lives and when people celebrated life with music. Fantastic.

10/10 brilliant!
Love this book! Laughed out loud a lot 😃 so glad I listened rather than read as felt it had a much more personal touch Kirk reading it. The Jamiriqoiu story had me howling 😆. Definitely getting the next one as such a wonderful trip down memory lane! I’m 51 now and off to Ibiza this summer for the first time in a long time as I can now do why not…the music, the feeling is in our blood! What a time to be alive! Loved it so much! Thanks
